What happens to old arcade games after an arcade decides to get rid of them? Obviously they get liquidated by some company, but where do they end up? So many arcade games were never ported to a console, so once they stop working, they are gone for good?

Arcade cabinents are EXTREMELY hard to repair and keep up with unless you know exactly what you are doing. This means that a business will either:1: Sell it to a private collector for cheap, as they will more than likely know what to do with it.or 2: Unfortunately, scrap it.

arcade cabinets are like old cars. They are made up of many complex parts that have not been made for a dozen years and are not easily obtainable, and not cheap. There is not a vast network of people able to fix these issues, as these games are aging and the publishers have since ended support outside of 3rd party repair.

Is there some sort of effort to reverse engineer the hardware of these games and somehow find a way to port them to different hardware?

So with all we have seen at E3, how hyped are you for Final Fantasy XV? My hype was almost destroyed completely by that Microsoft conference (Holy shit what the fuck was that) but the more we've seen after that has made me super hyped again.
